Reflect Student Fellowship

Every summer, Reflect offers students around the country an opportunity to participate in a paid, virtual, part-time student fellowship centered on mental wellness, leadership development, and connectedness. The fellowship runs for eight weeks and fellows are paid $1,000 over the course of the program as a stipend. Fellows are in a cohort of approximately 20 other student fellows from colleges and universities across the country, each participating from wherever they are spending their summer months. Reflect's summer student mental wellness fellowship is open to any college or graduate student, including students who are not degree-seeking or in "traditional" programs. Our goal is to develop fellows to be better resourced and more resilient mental wellness peer leaders on their own campuses
and in their own communities.

Population(s) Served

Our campus-based programming is designed to be flexible and integrate seamlessly into campus life. We offer a variety of program models designed to create and forge networks of mutual support among students. In each model, trained Student Peer Facilitators guide student groups through topics using active listening, supportive intervention techniques, and strategies of mindfulness. Reflect Roundtables (previously Reflect Dinners) is a larger-scaled, peer-led event open to the entire campus. The frequency of these events depends on the host organization, typically occurring monthly and the audience differing each time. Based on predetermined topics, students drive the conversation and empower their peers to speak their minds. This is a designated safe space by design, enabling students to feel confident and comfortable opening up. Reflect focuses on a peer-to-peer, strengths-based model.

We offer a variety of program models designed to create and forge networks of mutual support among students. In each model, trained Student Peer Facilitators guide student groups through topics using active listening, supportive intervention techniques, and strategies of mindfulness. Like Reflect Roundtables, Reflect & Connect sessions are peer-led events that work from a framework of creating a safe and authentic space for students to connect. Where Reflect & Connect sessions differ is their size, frequency, and the determination of topics discussed. Reflect & Connect sessions typically have a smaller number of recurring participants, who meet more frequently and dictate the topics of each session as they occur. Reflect & Connect sessions operate similarly to a cohort model.
